TMZ asks Ryan Howard the important questions in Miami
Posted by meech.one at 9:32 pm ET 46 Comments

I got an e-mail a couple hours ago from someone named Nicki over at TMZ with an attached video of Ryan Howard walking on the streets of Miami with his leopard-printed white girl Super Bowl weekend. I’m assuming they somehow stumbled upon my earlier post on Howard’s Miami excursion and figured I’d be interested in their video.  And while they were most certainly right, the ability for me to embed the video here on The Fightins came with a bunch of stipulations. So before you see the video, I must make sure I adhere to their strict video-posting mandate.

Here was the letter:

Your use of this clip is permitted starting today through February 15 , 2010. Any use thereafter must be cleared again with TMZ.

It may not be used as file footage unless permission is granted by TMZ.

In addition, the TMZ bug must remain onscreen and unobscured for the duration of the clip and verbal credit must be given to TMZ in the track or clip’s introduction. You as well as use on your website, provided a MANDATORY link to TMZ’s sports category (http://www.tmz.com/category/tmzsports/) is in the article. Please note the above rights are for within the US and Canada.

No international usage is granted on all releases with our exclusively owned photos/video.

Please confirm that you agree to these terms & conditions.

Alright — I’m allowed to post it today (check!), I’ve kept the TMZ bug unobscured for the duration of the clip (check!), alls I need now is the link (which, technically, I already did in the blockquote), verbal credit in the clip’s introduction, and to make sure no foreigners use it.

Well, I’m not trained well enough in the art of video-creating to put verbal credit before the clip, so to make up for that I’ll put the link in all caps, bolded, and blinking.

COURTESTY OF TMZ SPORTS — DO NOT USE INTERNATIONALLY

Now that the legalities are out of the way, enjoy this :35 second video of a TMZ cameraman begging Ryan Howard not to hit too many homers vs. the Dodgers this year and asking the big man what the Dodgers chances are in 2010 now that Matt Kemp is dating Rihanna.

See, it was totally worth it. AND IT IS VIA TMZ SPORTS.

    Howard basically said “hahahahaha, you hear that my leopard print ho? fuck the dodgers. LOLZ!”

  5. J Mays says:

    I also starting getting TMZ Sports emails randomly too. I didn’t sign up for anything that I know of. I wish they’d stop. There isn’t even an unsubscribe option.

  6. HOLY SHIT TMZ EMAILED YOU

  7. My god, that video fella was annoying as shit. No wonder famous people hate people holding cameras.

  8. Pete D says:

    TMZ getting into sports hard is going to totally ruin fun for most star athletes

  19. bacon says:

  20. Gonzo says:

    I did some research. You can put anything in that link, and it will work.

  21. VGP says:

    God, TMZ fucking sucks. I’m pretty sure that will be the last TMZ clip I will ever knowingly click on.
    And I already thought we had TMZ Sports? It’s called ESPN.

  22. Adam Eaton says:

    ThirtyMileZone=gay. I wish you would have sent them e-mail back with a copy of the e-mail I sent you guys on Saturday night along with the attached photo I took of my T.V. and said, “NOW this is reporting. Step up your game guys. Adam Eaton is on it!”

  23. DP says:

    Uhm, how come no TMZ shots of the girl? All we saw was Ryan’s head! Also, Ryan, kill the sunglasses at night. Easy big fella, don’t get caught up.

  24. Marky from Morrell Tavern says:

    I’m surprised this hasn’t made deadspin yet

  25. Greg says:

    for being a bunch of dicks, tmz sure is a bunch of dicks.

  26. Gaze_NJ says:

    Why is Leonard Weaver walking with Ryan Howard…..

  27. greenman! says:

    is that Chad Durbin back there?

  28. Jay Ballz says:

    Meech, FYI- It seems that many Phils bloggers got the e-mail.

  29. meech.one says:

    Yeah, I know Jay. It wasn’t limited to Phillies bloggers, either.

    I thought the video itself was boring as shit, I just wanted to make fun of that e-mail.

  30. Meg says:

    I’m pretty sure Ryan has an entire harem of Eagles cheerleaders in front of him. In addition to leopard girl of course

  31. WholeCamels says:

    Wait, I’m sad that The Good Phight didn’t get this video… I mean, we’re so up our own butts with computer numbers and shit, maybe they figured we didn’t want to have such awesome, exclusive access to such hip, cutting-edge reporting. And girls. We’d have no idea what to do.

  32. meech.one says:

    I’m pretty sure they sent this to me because they hate me, Whole.

  33. TMZ SUX says:

    Another piece of shit from TMZ.
    I just hope pro athletes stomp these assholes.
    Anybody know how much they pay for this garbage??

  34. Lynniemac says:

    Never mind all of this. The BIG question is: WILL THE TRUCK BE ABLE TO LEAVE?????????

  35. will.H says:

    lynnie, if we line the streets waving rally towels, theres no way it would fail

  36. Lynniemac says:

    will, if that’s what it took, I’d do it.

  37. will.H says:

    me and you

    and maybe that guy that’s always at chickies who wears the batting helmet

  38. Lynniemac says:

    Well, if we each have a rally towel in each hand, that’s six so…that’s enough, right? RIGHT?

  39. will.H says:

    Lynnie, 3pm on Thursday

  40. Lynniemac says:

    If I have the approximately 20 feet of snow that the township’s plow deposited at the end of my driveway cleared by then, I’m so there.

  41. Ginger says:

    make sure they’re red

  42. Ginger says:

    Yeah…red.

  43. Heathcliff Slocumb says:

    I think the reporter is actually Tyler Walker
